Recording Options include:

•Keep At Most. This option sets the maximum number of episodes to be saved—useful for keeping only the most recent nightly news or only a few of your kids’ daily programs. The default setting is 5. (Only appears for a repeating recording.)

•Show Type. You can select “Repeats & first run,” “First run only,” which records only new episodes, and “All (with duplicates).” (Only appears for a repeating recording.)

•Keep Until. You can change this setting from “Space needed” (the default setting) to “Until I delete.” (Only appears for a repeating recording.)

•Keep At Least. You can set the minimum amount of time the HD DVR keeps a recording. The default setting is “Until space needed” (about two days), except for pay per view events, which default to “Save until I delete.” (Only appears for an individual recording.)

The Overtime SchedulerTM consists of these two options:

•Start Recording. You can choose to start recording up to ten minutes before a program begins. The default setting is “On-time.” (This option is not available once recording starts.)

•Stop Recording. You can set a recording to continue—for a few minutes or up to three hours—after it’s scheduled to end. For example, you can extend the recording of a sports event and be sure to catch the whole game—even if it goes into overtime. The default setting is “On-time.”
